Reviews

Kelly Schiffer is a fabulous lawyer. She is professional, highly knowledgable, sensitive, available and considerate. She instantly removed so much stress from my life. Kelly is particularly good at explaining things in a way that a lay person can easily understand. I was so happy to have her on my side. I recommend Kelly and this firm to everyone I care about and would call her again in a heartbeat. The firm was recommended to me by a therapist I respect very much and I think that says a lot—therapists see and hear it all, and this is the firm mine recommended.
Kelly Schiffer helped us with our divorce in 2015. She was actually representing my ex-husband, but the experience was amazing! Kelly was fair, so professional and responded to us almost immediately. I tell everyone thinking about divorce to use Kelly. I have referred countless clients to her and have heard wonderful feedback. Thank you Kelly for all you do to make a hard and painful experience better.
I had such a positive experience working with Levine Smith Snider & Wilson, LLC. specifically with Kelly Schiffer (partner) as my counsel as I navigated through my divorce. Kelly is extremely professional, very methodical and straightforward, yet she took the time needed to get to know me and to know what my goals were with divorce proceedings. Kelly successfully guided me through a divorce via mediation alleviating the need for complicated court proceedings. Even after my divorce was successfully finalized, Kelly has continued to provide guidance when needed. I am so glad that I chose to use Kelly as my lawyer and would highly recommend her to others in need of representation during complicated divorce.
I would not recommend this family law firm. I had the misfortune of hiring Kelly Schiffer to pursue a contempt petition on my behalf. I found her to be unorganized, she cancelled and rescheduled meetings, and frankly wasn't that bright. She had difficultly understanding some basic financial matters related to the case. She was not a good advocate ... at all. After I fired her and found better representation, I won my case on the merits. I read the other review about her and I can say that I'm not surprised. Regarding the lengthy response from the firm ... what's the old saying, "the lady doth protest too much."
I am an attorney and had referred clients to Kelly Schiffer and Jonathan Levine for years, all to return to me with glowing reviews. When it became time for my own divorce, there was no question who I would turn to. Kelly Schiffer agreed to take me on and, from the first minute of our discussion, she was everything a divorce attorney should be: caring, compassionate, sympathetic, smart, organized, thoughtful and determined to help me go through an unpleasant time in my life with the least amount of pain and anguish. Her advocacy for me never wavered, but it was clear that any argument she put forth was only for my interest. Some attorneys will purposefully become argumentative in order to stoke the fire and keep extra legal fees rolling in. It was clear that Kelly's goal was to quickly, efficiently and reasonably help me to get divorced. After the divorce was final, I had to turn to Kelly from time to time with questions relating to my agreement and her door was always open. I will be forever grateful to this amazing woman who opened the door for me to have a fresh beginning and I love her as an attorney, as a person and as a dear friend who I will always treasure and whose counsel I will always seek and respect.
